To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES HERBERT WINS- Low, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city of Philadelphia, State of'Pennsyl- Vania,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Caddy-Bags, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to bags or receptacles employed for containing andconveniently carrying golf-clubs and commonly called caddybags. Suchbags are usually made cylindrical in form, one head or base end being ofastiif material, such as sole-leather, the other end being open toinsert the golf-clubs, the peripheral-portion being of lsome heavytextile material and a strap and handle applied thereto to convenientlycarry the bag over the shoulder of the caddy or attendant.

My invention consists in means for converting the golf-club bag as nowcommonly constructed into a double-receptacled bag, whereby anadditional receptacle or container for clothing, &c.. opening outwardthrough the longitudinal wall of ythe bag is provided and maintainedwholly within, but separate and distinct from, the main container orreceptacle for the golf-sticks and providing for such additionalcontainer a suitable flap or cover registering with the exterior wall ofthe bag and otherwise adapting it relatively to the club-stickreceptacle, the said elements being constructed, combined, and arrangedas hereinafter described, whereby my improved caddy-bag has an extendedutility without interfering with the original utility of the caddybag.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, Figure 1 is afront elevation of myimproved bag; Fig. 2, a like view with the Hap orcover of the clothing-receptacle thrown to one side. Fig. 3 is averticalsection; Fig. 4, a transverse section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3 lookingupward, and Fig. 5 is alike section on the line riof Fig. 3 lookingdownward and with the flap thrown into open position.

By reference to said drawings it will be seen that my improved caddy-bagconsists of a substantially disk-shaped basal end or bottom a,

with upright rim a', of some stiff material, such as sole-leather, togive the requisite or desirable circular shape thereto and to supplymeans to which to fasten the bag-body, hereinafter described. A rim b,of like lstiii.

-material, constitutes the head end of the bag.

Between these rims a and and connected thereto by sewing or otherwise isa substantially cylindrical body 0, formed, preferably, of heavy cottonduck or other like comparatively fiexible material, such as softleather. Fastened upon the exterior of the body c, near the head-rim b,is arranged longitudinally a stiff. handle d, whereby the bag can becarried by the hand, if desired. Fastened at one end at or near thehead-rim and at its other end to the body portion c is a long andiiexible strap-handle e, also arranged in the same lonl projecting fromthe open head end of the bag.

In one long longitudinal sectional portion of the body c an openingismade, as indicated at g, Fig. 2, by cutting away the material thereofforming part of body c, and a second independent and inclosed receptacle7L is thereby formed by sewing to the edges of said cutaway section ofthe body c a strip of like flexible material, (indicated at 7L', Fig.3,) of cotton duck or like material, of like length as the longitudinalcut away section. but of greater width, so as to produce when sewed tothe sectioned opening in the body c an inwardly-disposed bellyingeffect, and thereby forming in such arrangement, as Shown in Figs. 3, 4,and 5, the receptacle L, which as such'is separate from and independentof the club-stick receptacle or chamber and yet is so arrangedrelatively to the body c, as described, as to be wholly within thelatter. Such independent receptacle is adapted to contain, as indicatedat m, Figs. 2 and 4, the wearing-apparel specifically useful on thefield or links to players of the game of golf, the whole paraphernaliabeing thus contained in a single caddy-bag. To support the wear- ICOing-apparel contents in the receptacle It and hold them from tumblingabout therein, a series of buckle-straps n, are provided, (see Fig. 2,)extending from edge to edge of the receptacle t. A closing device forsaid independent receptacle t is provided by means of alongitudinally-disposed flap it', of like flexible material as before,hinged, by sewing, to one edge of the united edges (indicated at k2 inFigs. l and 3) of a section cut in body c and of the receptacle t. Thisflexible iap 7c (shown thrown open in Fig. 2) is capable of acting as aremovable covering, as well for the independent receptacle /L assupplying an exteriorly-continuous periphery to the body c, producingsymmetry of construction, compactness, neatness, and great utility ofthe .concrete device at least cost. To secure the flap 7c in closedposition, side buckle-straps s and an end buckle-strap s (see Figs. land 2) are provided, and to prevent rain entering the receptacle /t adownwardly-turning hinged Hap t, secured in closed position by abucklestrap t', is secured between the same and the transverse iiap andoverlapping the latter.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. A golf caddy-bag, the body portion of which is offlexible material and substantiallyl cylindrical in form, means tomaintain it of that shape at its basal end, means to maintain itsopposite end as an open mouth, said body portion comprising twoindependent f receptacles, of diierent sizes, one within the other, thebody portion constituting the outer receptacle, and the inner receptacleconsisting of a longitudinally-disposed pocket let into and mounted onthe body portion of the bag through a longitudinal slotted openingtherein, with means to adjustably close said opening.

E2. A golf caddy-bag comprising a plurality of separated and independentcontainers arranged one within the other, and consisting of a basal endof stiff material, an exterior body portion substantially cylindrical inform and of iiexible material, forming one of said containers, a rim ofstiff material at its top end to maintain it in open position, therebeing a longitudinal slotted opening in the wall of said body portion,not extending to either end thereof, and a longitudinally-disposedpocket of iiexible material, the edges of which are secured to the bodyportion on the edges of the slotted opening therein, and a flap or coverfor said opening, mounted over the same, on said body portion of thebag.

3. A caddy-bag composed of a substantially disk-like base of stilimaterial with an upright rim or iange, a substantially cylindricalcasing of liexible material secured to said rim, a substantiallycircular rim of stiii material at the opposite end of the casing and towhich the latter is secured, a longitudinal slotted opening in theperipheral wall of said casing, a wall of like iiexible material,bellied, and united at its edges with the walls ol the scctional openingin the casing vforming an independent receptacle in the casing, a llaphinged at one edge over said opening, means to fasten the iap in closedposition over the interiorly-contained receptacle, and a strap device onthe exterior of the casing whereby the bag may be carried over theshoulder.

In testimony whereof l have hereunto aflixed my signature this 19th dayof January, A. D. 1905.
